Shout outs galore and a long and rambling video about the Alpinist, old and new. I have borrowed two and bought none, it just isn't for me, I prefer my tool watches in a dive watch stylee. There is definitely more to like about the new one, including various colours which are easier on the eye than green and gold, but I don't think the price justifies the extra features. Shop the deal on this one, HARD! Cheers, Jody

re: 6:45 - interesting Jody that you see this as more suited to a larger collection. I've always thought the opposite, i.e. the appeal of the Alpinist being its versatility (á la the Explorer), and I can imagine a universe in which it's part of a much smaller collection. I'd be able to get away with this at the office, then with a t-shirt at the weekend, and then pretty much anywhere else out in the wild with 200m of water resistance. Hell, I reckon this and a G-shock would see me through most situations in life...especially if I learned to use that compass bezel. Thanks for continuing to churn out the quality content!

I have the prior gen Alpinist, the SARB017. I think the green sunburst dial and gilt hands/markers are beautiful. For those who perceive a paradox between this Seiko's dressier design cues and its tool watch attributes, I would reference early 20th century field watches, which often had these baroque design cues, especially the cathedral hands. I enjoy it *because* it's so different and defies easy categorization. That and its compact dimensions; a good fit for my smaller than average wrists.

I've always considered the alpinist as being either a perfect one-watch-collection watch or, as you stated, a watch buried in an extensive collection. The quirky middle ground it sits in doesn't leave much room in between those two extremes. That's why I like it.

@anthonysmith2982 3 жыл бұрын

That's well said. Personally I don't get why it's considered to be such an odd looking timepiece. The SARB017 or its 2020 equivalent never spoke to me. That green... 🤢 But the pre-SARB Alpinists of the 90's and the other 2020 variants, especially the cream and gilt dial SPD123 spoke to me immediately upon release in January. I bought one just a few weeks back at a healthy discount I'm happy to say, and I ʟᴏᴠᴇ it. It's currently on a perlon for the Australian summer but will mainly live on a Jubilee bracelet. It's way more versatile than I expected. I really like the piece. A lot!

Great review as always. I went with the SRB Alpinist (green/gold) just before the new line came out. The prices dropped just before the JP rollout and I got it at a very good price. Swapping out different straps, I struggled to get the look I wanted out of it for a long time until finally buying the Strapcode bracelet. It truly transformed it. I have a 7.25" circumference wrist and it just gave it the perfect gradual proportion and tapering. Casual or Dress, it works. I do not care about the sun dial complication functionally, but it does give it a unique look.

I have the non compass "new" one SPB155J1, steel bracelet, dark green sunburst with gold hands. The legibility is just so good because its a darker green than the earlier ones. It beats a Laco Flieger I have in low light before the lum kicks in. The accuracy is really good as long as you don't leave it crystal up by the bed side overnight.

I was once an Alpinist doubter until this year. Once I got the cream and gilt Alpinist I fell in love with them. A SARB017 and a SBB123 soon followed. The steel bracelet is especially silky to wear and the Cyclops is functional. With the compass crown the Alpinist is a stand out in a horological crowd. without it, there's a risk of becoming run of the mill. The Helm Vanuatu still rules my wrist but for a day out or evenings entertainment Alpinist is good watch company. Cheers Jody.

The best to use as a compass are the ones with a GMT hand: you just synchronize it with your local solar time, point it to the sun and you have the North at 12 (a 24h watch works too, of course). Well, that's in my hemisphere, no idea about yours. (Only if Australia exists and it's not a conspiracy of the round earthers in which you, Jody, are probably involved).

...which Seiko had in the early 2000’s’, with its original Prospex Alpinists (8F56 quartz), aka GMT, the only where the compass bezel made real sense. PS: Australia is real, I heard, like it’s just on the reverse, B track of the LP plate.

It's interesting reading the comments and opinions when you get something that divides opinion. It is a querky watch which doesn't categorise easily so I just think your either have the for's or against and nothing in between. On the cyclops that looks amazingly clear and well magnified. I started wearing reading glasses a couple of years ago and now don't even bother setting the date on my watches when I put one on as I can't read it without specs on (so why do I buy watches with a date?). So I see a Cyclops and date window you can actually read as a good feature.

Also, how to use the compass (Southern Hemisphere): 1) Keep the watch level with the horizon and point the 12 o'clock index at the sun 2) Make an imaginary angle with the sun's 12 o'clock position and the hour hand as it currently reads 3) North is right in the middle of that imaginary angle (rotate the Alpinist's inner compass ring to that position to indicate north) 4) Use the 1 o'clock index to orientate the sun during daylight savings

Thanks for this video, very informative, I recently purchased the SARB017 from Amazon on Amazon Day, for about 400.00 U.S. before Taxes. I was flopping between SPB121 and the SARB017. I am very happy that I chose the SARB and saved myself 350.00 U.S.. The newer SPB121 is pretty much out of stock everywhere, but apparently Seiko is shipping more stock mid December. The other dial colors except for the limited edition blue dial are still widely available. Therefore, finding a SPB121 for 500.00 new is very unlikely. The watches available on Amazon were a result of Amazon buying up the old stock from Seiko. The packaging can vary depending on which market the watch was originally intended for. The watch I received was an Absolutely perfect U.S. market watch without any alignment issues. The Sunray Green Dial is mesmerizing and a joy to wear. The Strap however is horrible, stiff and plasticky. I immediately replaced it with a brown vintage style Fluco strap. I did post a review on Amazon with photos.

I think that you sort of argued against yourself there. The first thing an experienced watch dealer will tell you is that the secondary market is the best indicator of what a watches value is. If the secondary market is buoyant that means that the piece IS priced at what the market considers fair. It often says that those who buy them aren't flipping them too... I think that some concerns over Seiko's pricing is justified so I don't outright disagree. I'm just saying that if the secondary is the true indicator, the SARBs and Alpinists seem to be priced accordingly. Hope that makes sense! 🙂 Cheers mate.

I got the white dial ("ghost") new Alpinist about a month ago. It's a really nice watch. The only thing I've noticed that's not so great in day-to-day use is.. the lume is not that good, it doesn't last through the night (esp. now, near dark winter months) so in early early morning or waking up middle of night, no clue what the time is. Also, usually I hate date magnifiers; on this watch, in the metal, I love it. It actually *works* and overall, just a nice GADA watch. The compass bezel I use as a timing bezel, orange triangle being the "reference/start" point.

I got a seiko SRPD35K1 and put a dark brown canvas strap on it and couldn't be happier. I got it for $300, No cathedral hands, it has day/date, no cyclops, expedition back with emergency ground to air signals, internal compass bezel, 20 bar and great lume. It's just not sapphire, but i figure if i really ever scuff it up, i can replace the hardlex with a sapphire in the future.

Hi Sir! Can you also make a video about the SARB013 aka the Unicorn Alpinist?

So you're talking football in podcasts. Lots of football talk here in the last few days.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I may be the only person that genuinely feels nothing either way for these. I think because I've been witness to so many strong opinions that I'm just like... Okay. I don't dislike it, but neither would I run out to buy one. Great review, Jody!

I'm the same way. As long as I've known about it, I've just shrugged and moved on. Not my thing, but I don't hate them. Then again, I'm wearing a square, gold 80s Timex at the moment, so perhaps you should take my opinion with a grain of salt... 😂
